Iran’s Chokehold, Meta’s AI Gamble, and Trump’s $300B Power Play | Tom Bilyeu Show Live

Yeah, this is one of the things that people that are trying to map out what's going to happen have got to take into consideration.

The decentralized military that Iran is running is so decentralized that it runs the risk of becoming essentially a well-armed headless chicken that can't be stopped from running around and spraying blood on everything.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And that idea that it can't be stopped is what people have to think about.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So if Trump is gonna have an exit from this war, there has to be somebody that you can talk to, because if you stop and they don't, then you've gotten nowhere.

If we say, okay, cool, ceasefire, but then they keep bombing the Strait of Hormuz,

you've gained nothing.

Now, in 2007, a general named Mohammad Ali Jafari took over Iran's Revolutionary Guard and he was part of the generation that watched the U.S.

topple Saddam Hussein's entire military in just three weeks and

Hussein Saddam ended up like hiding in a hole in a ground.

If you guys remember that, if you're old enough to remember him getting pulled out of that, I mean, it's just absolutely wild.

And so Jafari ends up walking away from watching all of that, deciding he's going to decentralize his army to avoid a potential decapitation from being something that could shut down the military.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

It's actually brilliant.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Again, to Drew's point, like you,

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Whether you see them as the enemy or not, you want to be able to identify what they're doing that makes sense.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And this is really quite brilliant if you want to make sure that you don't succumb to that problem.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

Now it creates another problem for you, but it is very good at defending against the decapitation being able to stop you in your tracks.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

So Jafari ends up splitting the IRGC into 31 separate provincial commands.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Iran’s Chokehold, Meta’s AI Gamble, and Trump’s $300B Power Play | Tom Bilyeu Show Live

So one for every province in Iran.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Iran’s Chokehold, Meta’s AI Gamble, and Trump’s $300B Power Play | Tom Bilyeu Show Live

Each one got its own headquarters, its own weapons, its own fast boats so that it could do these lightning quick attacks.

They all have their own drones and their own missiles.
